    "content": "He has also talked about the Budget. He has very kindly read the provision that defines the financial year, but also leaves room for Parliament to legislate. If we change the Budget cycle, as we should to be in accord with the Constitution, there is room for it in the Constitution. How can we make the Constitution accord with a Budget date? Then it would not be a Constitution any more. We are actually lowering the Constitution to the level of an ordinary Bill. I want to be upfront and say the Constitution can be amended, but not for flimsy reasons. We must hold the Constitution in reverence and only amend it as a last resort. We have not even tried to change the Budget cycle and to have the Budget, for instance, come to around March, so that we are able to pass the monies in time for the elections."
